Product description & features

The Continental AllSeasonContact 2 introduces the benefit of improved mileage and wet braking, when compared to its original AllSeasonContact model. While it is better in those areas, it is still certified to be used in winter conditions. It has an aggressive V-shaped pattern in the tread of the tyre, designed to guide water away from the contact area and to the edge of the tyre. It has a C-shaped block to maintain and improve steering response on dry surfaces and has micro cuts in the treads to improve grip on cold surfaces and snow. The polymer and plasticizer compound from Continental maintains flexibility in varying temperatures for better grip.

It is the replacement to the AllSeasonContact and has a reported improvement of 15% in mileage and 3% in wet braking distance, in comparison to the original model, not to mention improved Rolling Resistance by 6%. The tyre is certified with the 3PMSF mark and is available with reinforced XL construction. You can find both of these options at Tyres.co.uk.

Highlights

  • Improved mileage and wet braking
  • V-shaped tread pattern
  • Micro cuts for snow grip
  • 3PMSF winter certification

Tyre review for Continental All Season Contact 2 195/55R16 91V XL
Reliable and dependable tyres regardless of the conditions. Smoothing out driving and making it quiet; providing an ideal experience during difficult weather. Driving over a recent patch of ice and snow, I was able to maintain a grip and felt very safe.

Tyre review for Continental All Season Contact 2 195/55R16 91V XL
Bought due to needing all season tyres with 3PMSF rating for the Alps trips in winter. Just got back from my first trip last week, they did well but the roads were all dry so I couldn't fully evaluate. Looking forward to February to test them again.

Similar to my last pair, these are not too loud and have good distance and stopping power.
